2hip, thats looks amazing. What kind of case is that?
I finished a bit of an overhaul on my rig a few days ago so thought I'd share some updated pics with you guys. I did some proper cable management, finally installed my EK Supreme, got the new DD block and backplates on my 280's and replaced my DDC res tops with XSPC acrylic ones. Loads of hose but a bit of bling :D, bit of a PIA to drain but ah well.......lol.

I'm confused, is that a dual loop?
Why do you run different sized tubing?
Of course it is a dual loop, can't you see the two pumps and two res's?Quote:

Yeah, interesting is the word for it all right lol. I was a bit worried about flow in the CPU loop but it's more than adequate I think, theres a GTX 360 with 4 110CFM Scythe Jynui's to cool it off so temps are good (CPU is idling around 30C with 3.6GHz, board @ 37C).
I went from EK res tops, 1/2" tubing to an MC-TDX, with t-junctions to feed 3/8" to the 4 chipsets, flow with the res tops wasn't even enough to let the Supreme do it's thing on its own and there was hardly any airflow in the case due to how I had the pumps positioned, definately not an ideal setup. I'm impressed with the XSPC top, it now runs fine even with 3 other blocks in the loop, plenty of airflow and my temps have improved further on everything so I'm happy with it for the time being.
The GPU loop is fine as is, 43C idle maxing at about 60C while folding isn't bad at all for 700MHz GTX280's imo :) MCP on that loop is @ 39C so still an improvement there too.
This is still my first W/C'd rig so I'm still learning but man it's fun and addictive!
To answer FilthySanchez, the different tube sizes was mainly because I had the MCP in that loop before and I couldn't fit 1/2" barbs on it with the GPU in the way, all the lengths were already cut in the 3/8" so I stuck with it and just removed the t blocks to try to help the flow a bit more. Next time I clean the loop, the 3/8 will be replaced with 1/2" and some bitspower compression fittings, except for the MCP which will have to stay 3/8 ;)
On a side note, anybody know if EK do case badges? I'd like one to sit next to the DD one on the window, I have a small obsession with stickers........:rolleyes:
Addictive is a good description lol. What are the load CPU temps? Idle seem pretty good [ambients are needed though].
Load temps hit 46C after about 20mins of small FFT's. I'm not sure about ambient but its early hours of morning here and 17C outside so I'd say 20ish or slightly more, warm enough to not be cold in just my underwear anyway lol. I've been meaning to run a long Prime test to get a max temp so I'll do it in the next few days probably.
can someone tell me
should i use 3x1220rpm or 3x2000rpm fans for my rad
i used to have the 1220 rpm fans with C2D cpu's
but i hooked up one Q9450 and thinks got warm
if i use 3 x 2000k rpm will be better or just wast of money ?
Great temps jarvo1!
What rad do you have Vatos? Sure 2000rpm fans will give you better temps but they are much noisier. What's the price difference? What's important to you?
to me ? temps no worries about the noise in normal levels :p
this is the rad Radiator MCR320QP 3X120
http://www.plaisio.gr/product.aspx?c...product=964735
If noise isn't a bother then of course go for the 2000rpm fans. :) Might want to hit Martin's site to see how much 2000rpm fans improve cooling. It might only be 2 C which isn't worth it.
ok i'll check it out thanks
thanks mateQuote:

having the fans like that is not such a good idea imoQuote:
